I have a Gen 2, a 2009 model which I have owned from new and done many miles, including a 2.5k trip around Europe in 6 days.
I too did all the usual forum searches before I bought it and what surprised me was how smooth and easy to ride it is after all the horror stories I heard about the fuelling. It may be that the people who slate the Gen 2 fuel injection have only ridden the early model, but maybe some have never even ridden one and are "forum experts".
The moral is, test ride one!
ps. the comments on the seat are true and if you are planning long trips I recommend padded cycling shortsÂ
